Northern Hymn - thoughts ?
(Preview)
Wow did i miss pulp played a new song at shows ? I did Northern Hymn Sounds pretty cool. To me its not « single » material, so that probably means they have more. It also doesnt sound like a song from an EP but something out of something bigger. Are they preparing a new album ? Sounds like a big closer song fro...

After You (live) Verdict

Did it work? I can't decide. Like a parent eagerly urging their toddler to go forth and walk no matter how wobbily...I was hoping that this "lost classic!" / "Would have been huge as a single!" / "WTF? They ditched this for The Trees and The Weeds and all The Shrubs of Sheffield?!" (as we seemed to agree wh...

The final UK shows of this tour - so far, at least. Expecting any new songs to enter the mix? Like Brixton back in 2011? I'll be in London on Saturday - meeting up with my gf who's off doing a work experience thing right now - don't know if I'll have a chance to say hi to everyone, but if I don't, hope you all have...

What exactly do you do after an encore?
(Preview)
So we know that the band have shows booked until late November, but what do you think will happen after that? I think that they will do some more non-UK shows in 2024 as per the last reunion then do a couple of nights in London or Sheffield. It might be too much to ask that they do something similar to The Divi...

What's actually happening in Your Sister's Clothes?
(Preview)
Your Sister's Clothes is probably one of Pulp's greatest ever songs - to me at least it is, anyway - and while I'm aware of the story behind it, with it being a sequel to Babies (where the sister 'gets her own back'), the lyrics and their perspective aren't particularly clear. "You watch her when she's go...

Obscure Pulp facts and nuggets

Hi, folks! While we anticipate Pulp's sets tonight and tomorrow at Hammersmith (some of us, sadly, from our bedrooms) - here's something else to chat about. A while back, on my Twitter page, I posted a meme - it's a familiar format, with a pic of an iceberg and a load of statements about Pulp, the idea bei...

Remastered
(Preview)
Did anyone else pick up on that Instagram statement from Steve - that he and Jarvis had remastered the entire Universal back catalogue? I just re-read the statement, and don't remember picking up on that ? Needless to say, either an anthology or reissues are on the way.

Off topic: Suede - Autofiction
(Preview)
Well, what do you think? I have had a few listens over the past week and I think it's a good album, the last two songs are my favourites. The majority of songs are quite fast, if you're looking for Suede ballads, look elsewhere. Brett described it as a "Punk album" which is quite accurate, in some places it...

That Glory Days Montage
(Preview)
So this has become my elephant in the room. Am I just being dumb or is that footage of the band at the beginning of the montage new to us? Jarvis is in his wheelchair which puts it in early '86 during the Outrage tour. Anyone know where this footage comes from and how much there is of it? It's tantalising me so...

Something I've been thinking a bit about over the past week, if not of interest, feel free to skip.
